embodiment 100

[0041]FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment 100 of a communication system includes a number of caching node devices (depicted as DCNs). A general communication system is composed of one or more wired and / or wireless communication networks (shown by reference numeral 111) includes a number DCNs (shown by reference numerals 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, and 138). The communication network(s) 111 may also include more DCNs without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0042]In some embodiments, a server 126 may be implemented to be coupled (or to be communicatively coupled) to one of the DCNs (shown as being connected or communicatively coupled to DCN 131). In other embodiments, a server 126a may be communicatively coupled to DCN 134, or a server 126b may be coupled to more than one DCNs (e.g., shown as optionally being communicatively coupled to DCNs 131, 133, 134, and 137).

[0043]One or more communication devices (shown as wireless communication device 121...

embodiment 300

[0049]FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment 300 of multiple DCN operating in accordance with port specific caching. This embodiment 300 shows multiple DCNs 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305. Each respective DCN includes a distributed cache management circuitry 311 (that includes capability to keep / address / update routing tables 313 and operate a cache 314). This embodiment 300 shows the DCN 301 being communicatively coupled to server 390. The various DCNs 301-304 are respectively coupled via respective ports (shown as P#1321, P#2322, P#3323, and up to P#N 329).

[0050]As described above, caching may be managed and controlled amongst various DCNs in accordance with a port specific caching approach. This architecture that is operative to perform port specific caching allows the use of specific, dedicated ports to communicate selectively with ports of other DCNs. This allows the use of individual respective memories, corresponding to specific ports, to effectuate caching of content amo...

embodiment 400

[0051]FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment 400 of a DCN operating based on information (e.g., cache reports) received from one or more other DCNs. A DCN 410 includes cache circuitry 410b (that is operative to perform selective content caching) and processing circuitry 410c. The DCN 410 is operative to receive a cache report 401a transmitted from at least one other DCN. The cache report 401a is processed by the DCN 410 to determine what caching operations to perform and to generate a cache report 401d that corresponds to the DCN 410 itself.

[0052]The DCN 410 is operative to generate the cache report 401d corresponding to the DCN 410, and the DCN 410 is operative to receive the cache report 401a corresponding to a second caching node device. Based on the cache report 401a (and also sometimes based on the cache report 401d that corresponds to the DCN 410 itself), the DCN 410 selectively caches content within the DCN 410 (e.g., in the cache circuitry 410b) or transmits the cont...

Abstract

Distributed Internet caching via multiple node caching management. Caching decisions and management are performed based on information corresponding to more than one caching node device (sometimes referred to as a distributed caching node device, distributed Internet caching node device, and/or DCN) within a communication system. The communication system may be composed of one type or multiple types of communication networks that are communicatively coupled to communicate there between, and they may be composed of any one or combination types of communication links therein [wired, wireless, optical, satellite, etc.]). In some instances, more than one of these DCNs operate cooperatively to make caching decisions and direct management of content to be stored among the more than one DCNs. In an alternative embodiment, a managing DCN is operative to make caching decisions and direct management of content within more than one DCNs of a communication system.
